    Hi,

    I'm using the softmod to get vista x64 activated. I'd like to install Ubuntu in dual-boot, is it possible on this installation or do I have to make some modifications to the softmod?

    Tnx,

    Mike

    No problem.


    Ubuntu don't care about Vista beeing cheated.

    Just keep it on different partitions.

    Doesn't the softmod use a Grub loader? Using the grub from Ubuntu will still make Vista loading with the softmod or will it be bypassed?

    I know it could sound paranoiac but I want to avoid a complete reinstallation as it is on a notebook and I only have 1 harddisk. Not as easy as my computer which has 2 hdd so I can make it boot on either disk.
